Title:
  [0SSA 2014-011] RBAC policy not enforced when adding a security group
  rule using EC2 API (CVE-2014-0167)

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) havana series:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  
  It seems that when using the EC2 API, the security group implementation does not enforce RBAC policy for the add_rules, remove_rules, destroy and other functions (in compute/api.py). Only the add_to_instance and remove_from_instance functions enforce RBAC. This seems like an oversight for obvious reasons.

  The Nova API security group implementation does enforce RBAC on these
  functions.

  In addition, the add_to_instance and remove_from _instance functions
  which are wrapped in RBAC verification use the
  "compute:security_groups" action which is not even listed in the
  default /etc/nova/policy.json. The latter is confusing to users.

  This is the case on Grizlly and at first glance, it doesn't look like
  this has changed in Havana.
